Summary/Abstract: On the borderline between media and art, independent publications, or also zines, draw experience and inspiration from both fields. The following publication considers zines as an important part of the print media landscapes and highlights their life-affirming role in the development of various political and artistic ideas and movements, and the press itself in general. Through an attempt to define and derive the essential defining characteristics of zines, a general historical overview of their appearance and presence in different parts of the world, including Bulgaria, and their consideration in the digital age, the text comprehends their importance in modern publicity and emphasizes the need for similar editions. Undoubtedly, independent publications have been and will continue to be an indispensable medium for communities united by common topics and a natural source of innovation and experimentation for major media brands.
